IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance is that of the Tactical Dividend Growth Composite, comprised of three Tactical Dividend Growth model strategies. Prior to 8/25/2014, the Composite includes only accounts invested in individual securities. On 8/25/2014, the Composite added accounts comprised of 10 Affiliated ETFs (the “Initial ETFs”) but is otherwise substantially similar. On 7/25/2016, the Composite added accounts invested in an 11th Affiliated ETF, remaining substantially similar. The Affiliated ETFs do not have performance history of comparable duration; therefore, performance of the two models implemented through Affiliated ETFs could have been better or worse over the same period and is not indicative of future performance.
This is not an offer to buy or sell any security. No security or strategy, including those referred to directly or indirectly in this document, is suitable for all accounts or profitable all of the time and there is always the possibility of loss. WBI Enhanced SMA® Program accounts are subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of principal amount invested. The ETFs used in WBI Enhanced SMA Program accounts may invest in other ETFs, mutual funds, and Exchange-Traded Notes (ETNs) which will subject the account to related additional expenses of each, and the risk of owning the underlying securities held by each. Investment risks may include but are not limited to: market, economic, political, interest rate, currency exchange, leverage, liquidity, credit quality, model, portfolio turnover, trading, REIT, nondiversification, concentration, commodities, options, new fund, and client specific restrictions. You should not assume that any discussion or information provided here serves as a substitute for personalized investment advice from WBI or from any other investment professional. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of specific issues discussed to your individual situation, please consult with WBI or your chosen professional advisor.

Net of Fee Performance (NOFP) reflects actual performance after deducting investment management fees, brokerage commissions, and other expenses and includes reinvestment of dividends and other earnings. NOFP was restated effective December 31, 2014 to deduct only the highest investment management fee of 1.00% charged by WBI. NOFP no longer reflects the deduction of the additional asset-based service fees or other fees (of up to 1.50%) charged by solicitors or introducing advisors; when compounded over a period of years, these would decrease returns. Information about these additional asset-based fees is available through the client’s solicitor or introducing advisor. Gross of Fee Performance is presented for comparison of manager performance, and excludes the effects of the investment management fees charged by WBI.

Alpha: measure of risk-adjusted non-excess return; positive Alpha indicates performance better than the given Beta (volatility) of the investment. Beta: measure of volatility relative to a given index; Beta above 1 is more volatile than the index; Beta less than 1 is less volatile. Maximum Drawdown: measures the peak‐to‐trough loss of an investment, indicating capital preservation.
